The Summarising Strategy - Week 4

If you don't know what a summary is, then this is all about summarising.  

Today on 11.05.15, we read a book called Charlie's race, and on the 2nd page we had to find 3 key words.  The key words were pigeon, race and Charlie.  Out of these key words we made a sentence, the sentence was "Charlie is a pigeon and he is going to enter his first homing pigeon race of the season."  That is an example of a summary.  

Also key words help you to make sentences or even stories!! You can find key words in every book!.  Also if you copy someone's story it is called plagiarism.    

Match Sticks - Week 3

Match Sticks

 On Tuesday the 27th, our class made our names out of match sticks, but it wasn't  easy because there were two choices.  The choices were make your name 20 centimetres high or make your name a metre long.  I chose 20cm high, here is the photo of my name that is 20cm high and Thomas' name is a metre long.  The next day we got a sheet of paper and it said... Rosa made her name out of 20 different coloured matchsticks.  She used 3 yellow, 5 blue, 4 red, 4 purple and 4 green matchsticks.  The yellow are worth $10, the blue $5, the red $2, the purple $5 and the green $2.  What is the total value of Rosa's name made out of matchsticks? 

That is what we had to work out.  And the answer was 91 but you had to write down how you worked out the answer.   

Mickey Mouse's Adventure - Week 2

Mickey Mouse’s Adventure

In 1816 in the twin towers, Mickey Mouse was relaxing with a nice breakfast in his lounge with his dog Pluto sitting beside him. 
“Arr this is nice” said Mickey.
Then suddenly BOOM!!!! Mickey and Pluto jumped. 
“What was that?” said Mickey.  
Mickey and Pluto rushed outside and there standing in front of them was a big giant robot with plankton inside driving it. 
“Plankton, what are you doing in there” yelled Mickey. 
“Well I’m going to destroy the twin towers,” said Plankton.  
Then suddenly a helicopter came down by Mickey and shouted, “I will cut through his back and cut the wires” 
“OK!!” shouted Mickey.  
The helicopter took off and went around the robot. 
“HEY!! What are you doing,” said Plankton.  
“I’m destroying you,” yelled the man in helicopter. 
“No, where are you going? Get out of there” 
BOOM!!! The robot fell to the ground, but the helicopter came down with a bang too because wings were damaged. 
“Hey, are you in there?” Mickey yelled.
Then popping up was the man in the helicopter. 
“I'm OK” shouted the man.
“Oh that's good and thank you" said Mickey.

"That's OK" said the man.  
"I didn't get your name" said Mickey 
"My name is David," explained David. 
"Well thank you," said Mickey. 
"That's OK," replied David.
